slammer with d.c. police. police say riders need to use caution, beware of using their phones and tablets near doors on the trains or exits. it's too easy for someone to snatch that and make a break for it and leave you trapped on the train. that is what police say happened in this case. brian? >> all right, sherry, if you see something like this while riding metro, we want to know about it. send your ideas to fox5metro@gmail.com. fox 5 learned a woman has a history of driving violations. gloria mcmillan is held and is charged with felony hit and run in the death of arrington. they got into a fight and mcmillan hit her. she has a wreckless driving charge in 203 and three infractions from 2003 and 2010.

very much involved. there were many layers of defense here and it worked. >> they have to be right once. >> to be right every time. >> reporter: letters from osama bin laden's compound detailed his desire to attack the u.s. on a 9/11 anniversary. terror experts say yemen has e merged as a hot bed of al qaeda activity. >> al qaeda is home to the world's most dangerous bomb maker. >> reporter: frank has the homeland security policy institute at george washington university. that bomb maker remains at large and salufo said he's a serious threat. >> i think it's highly likely if he didn't have a direct hand, he's been training the next generation of bomb makers. >> reporter: for its part, the tsa has not announced new security measures in response to that foiled plot. the united states had a military training program set up in yemen.

campaign kicked off his campaign, and you know, virginia really is that, it's that, you know, ultimate purple state that is going to -- i think, whatever way virginia goes, you know, the rest of the nation is going to go. this race is going to be decided in a dozen battleground states. a lot that bush won in 2004obama will win. >> i will give virginians a pass. everyone else, no passes. >> thank you for coming in today. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> a former confidant of john edwards testified that he tipped off president obama's campaign to look into rumors of edwards extra marital affair. chapel hill developer tim tobin testified he had first-hand knowledge of the affair and told a friend in the obama campaign to check it out and he was astonished when edwards told him he still had political aspirations. edward -- edwards is accused of using campaign contributions to cover up his affair with real hunter. stop oring the jewelry --
